I just want to figure out why BitTorrent does not even connect with the SuSE Linux server (known safe) and others that are cleanly obtained. I make no claims against antivirus hoaxes and wannabees.
#Bittorrent sync tracker server windows
The "Snowden" clips came through with no problem, so the Windows Defender is not the culprit. I completely uninstalled McAfee which of course requires a re-boot. I do not have any antivirus other than Windows Defender currently.
#Bittorrent sync tracker server software
Compromising the public infrastructure cannot impact the security of Sync.It obviously wasn't me you were talking to on that front, because the only way that 3rd party internet security software stops interfering fully is by uninstalling it, which is why I said "temporarily uninstalled" above and not "disabled"Īnd this is before my "norton might as well be a virus itself at this point" talk even hits the table. The public infrastructure is there to enable better connectivity and more user-friendly folder sharing experience. Sync security is completely dependent on client-side implementation.This is not an issue with Sync, but basic security protocol. Once an attacker has root access or physical access to the machine, it can modify any element of the attacked system. Like with any other solution, the user needs to secure access to their machines using proper passwords, proper firewall configuration, and the like.As mentioned earlier, the hashes cannot be used to obtain access to a folder. We host a tracker server for peer discovery the tracker is only there to enable peers to find each other.On top of that, a few additional features were implemented to further secure the key exchange using links, including (1) the links automatically expire within 3 days (set as default) and (2) explicit approval is required by the inviting peer before any key exchange takes place (also set as a default). In addition, the public key and the folder hash appear after the # sign in the URL, which means that all modern browsers won’t even send this to the server. After a direct connection is established (the user can verify that by comparing the certificate fingerprint for both peers) Sync will pass the folder key over an encrypted channel for the other peer. The link itself cannot be used for decrypting the communication. The link does not contain any folder encryption keys it only contains the public keys of the machines involved in the exchange. Links make use of standard public key cryptography to enable direct and secure key exchange between peers.Hashes also cannot be guessed it is a 160 bit number, which means that it is cryptographically impossible to guess the hash of a specific folder. The hashes cannot be used to obtain access to the folder it is just a way to discover the IP addresses of devices with the same folder. Folder hashes are not the folder key (secret) and are used to discover other peers with the same folder.To address the main points made in the study’s conclusion: We’ve gone through the claims made by Hackito and after reviewing it in full, we do not feel there is any cause for concern. But we take questions about Sync’s security very seriously.
